The NFC North is going to be the division that everyone keeps an eye on for multiple reasons, with the main one being that there are three returning playoff teams, and all four got better going into the 2025 season. Across the board, the biggest question is how the division will shake out? Can the Detroit Lions win three in a row? Will the Minnesota Vikings or Green Bay Packers come up and get home-field advantage for the first time in a few years?

We're getting ever closer to the Detroit Lions' 2025 season. Training camp is less than a month away, and then the season starts right after that. We're 80 days away from Week 1 if you want to be exact. The Lions' schedule has a lot of games that should be very intriguing this year. Bookies put together an algorithm that shows just how intriguing the Lions will be. They found that Detroit has six of the most watchable games in the NFL this year and two of the most unwatchable games.

Five years ago, the NFL held the weirdest NFL Draft of all time. The draft was set to take place in Nevada on April 23, but then a month earlier, the COVID-19 pandemic started, and the country shut down, and along with that went the team's abilities to scout players with pro days and top 30 visits being affected. Five years later, and with nothing going on in the NFL right now, we thought it would be fun to re-draft the first round of that draft.

Saw a Letterbox ad and now I have to tell you my top 4 movies of all time Goodfellas The Wood White Men Can’t Jump Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Honorable mention: Zodiac, Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop, Life, Vision Quest, Brewster’s Millions, Tommy Boy, My Cousin Vinny
Is it Endgame? No, not even close. But I don’t get the hate on this one. Felt like a Jack Ryan movie from the 90’s, but with super heroes. I liked it. https://t.co/YxX4QOMxQR
